Laureata in matematica all’universitĂ di Pavia (laurea quadriennale a indirizzo didattico), la vita mi ha portato a un ruolo di responsabilitĂ nella rappresentanza dell’Islam italiano e a un intenso lavoro di studi interreligiosi. Nel tempo libero studio nuove lingue, esploro nuovi argomenti e strumenti della matematica, curo il mio terrazzino con vista skyline meneghina e mi diletto di tourism management. Non sono un’atleta ma mi piace camminare.
